On a day-to-day basis, assuming 261 working days in a year, that CEO is making just over $84,000 per working day. He's getting paid the equivalent of nearly ~4 full-time (40 hr/week), minimum wage YEARLY INCOMES * *per day. That's the same as ~1,044 people over the course of the year.

So how about you pay the exceptionally overpaid CEO something reasonable like ~200 people's wages. Then they'd have to suffer through a measly ~$4.4M of income per year freeing up some ~17M+ to split for the rest of the employees at the company.

And this is just the overpaid CEO taking a reasonable pay decrease! Imagine how much more tens of millions would be freed up by taking the axe to the rest of the executive staff, board, etc and trimming some of their fat paychecks to help the people who actually do work earn a living.
